Establishes a grant program to assist providers in purchasing opioid antagonists alongside automated external defibrillators

Summary

The bill amends New York’s public health law so that any site with a public‑access defibrillator must also keep at least one dose of an opioid antagonist such as naloxone. It sets up a state‑funded grant program to reimburse providers—especially schools, libraries and community centers in high‑risk or underserved areas—for the cost of those antagonists. The goal is to let by‑standers and first responders treat both cardiac arrests and opioid overdoses quickly.
